Rome, October 15th: The Riots on Social Networks. Art Is OpenSource.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=J_FU8qAMtVg This short video displays the activity on social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare) during the riots of October 15th which took place in Rome during the local instance of the 15th October initiative created in the planetary process started by the Occupy Wall Street movement. The peaks and contours you see represent the intensity of the communication and conversations that was taking place from the start of the protest (at 3pm local time) up until its approximate end (at 8pm local time). The animation shows the geo-referenced intensity of messages for each 30 minute time slot from the beginning to the end of the protest. A '"other" event took place in the infosphere. Watching it, we can perceive a deep mutation: the intersection between public digital space phisical territory, the observability of our online activities and lives, but also the possibility to create new forms and tools for protest, collaboration, solidarity inspired and coherent with our mutated condition. more info on: http://www.artisopensource.net/2011/10/16/versus-rome-october-15th-the-riots-on-social-networks/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
